What you see modded is a cover for the harddrive. Thats where my harddrive is at, I've always had my drive there so that the harddrive wouldn't block any air flow. When I started getting ready for my water cooling setup, I needed to push it in, so I trimmed one of the covers and attached it to the front of the harddrive and set it accordingly.

As for the black ice it's like these cases were made to fit these radiator. You'll have to mount it sideways theres no choice there. You hafta remove the 3.5 cage place your radiator there then slide the cage back in and I mean the cage holds it right where you need it. nice and firm too.

I redone my hoses so now it runs from radiator > Block > Pump

but I thought I had all the air out I hooked it all back up, plugged it in, working fine temps are about 1 to 2C lower, I started admirning that my temps vary from 36 to 39C from idle to load, then I heard it, a bubble got inside my pump then my temps rose a tad... Plus I was in a rush and I didn't apply my AS2 correctly..

But I'm gonna do 2 tests... the way I have it in the above pictures, or the way I have it now.... I'm gonna run full fan speed, and slowest fan speed and see which produces a lower average of temps then use that setup and finish mounting the pump and trimming my case so the cord goes out the back
